St. Gregory of Nyssa



St. Gregory of Nyssa says that after the resurrection everyone will receive a new body which will differ from the previous material one, just as the body of Christ after His Resurrection differed from His earthly body. The new, “glorified” human body will be immaterial, luminous and light, but will preserve the likeness of the material body.It will have none of the defects of the material body, such as mutilations or signs of old age. This is why for instance we see St. Matrona in icons with open eyes and standing.
